A plane traveled 4425 miles with the wind in 7.5 hours and 3675 miles against the wind in the same amount of time. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind

540 miles/hr and 50 miles/hr respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane in still air be x and the speed of wind be y.

ATQ, (x+y)*7.5=4425 and (x-y)*7.5=3675. Solving it, we get x=540 and y=50

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
